Generally, here’s what you need to know.

What to bring:

  • Both parties must be preset to apply for a license.
  • Full name and address of both people applying for a license
  • Names and address of parents of both parties
  • Drivers license and social security card for both parties.
  • $21 Cash

? Number of previous marriages

? If divorced within the last 6 months bring divorce decree.

Please note:

  • There is no waiting period. You may marry right away.
  • There is no blood test required.
  • If you are already legally married in another state or country then your marriage is automatically recognized by the state of Mississippi. You do not need to record any documents or apply for a Mississippi marriage license.
